Addition of preoperative ultrasound-guided suprascapular nerve block and axillary nerve block to parecoxib is more effective in early postoperative pain control following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: a prospective randomized controlled study

The purpose of the study was to prospectively compare the pain intensity and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) between patients who received ultrasound-guided suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) and axillary nerve block (ANB) as well as preincisional parecoxib and patients who received preincisional parecoxib only.
